On 24 December 2020, the UK and the EU reached an agreement on how to trade (the Trade and Cooperation Agreement). It entered into force on 1 January 2021. As a result of the agreement, the UK is no longer part of the EU’s single market and customs union and new rules apply.
From 1 January 2021, the UK has extended the rules which applied to non-EU postal items before. Similarly, the EU now treats postal items from the UK as it did non-EU items before. This means there may be changes to how you send and receive items from abroad.
For more information on how sending and receiving items to the EU may be impacted from 1 January 2021, please click here.
Electronic Customs Pre-advice Data
It is now mandatory to provide electronic customs pre-advice data and an S10 barcode when you ship abroad.
Use one of our data-compliant shipping platforms – Click & Drop, Pro Shipping or API shipping – to automate this process and take the stress out of electronic customs.
We restrict or prohibit certain items from our network. You are advised to carefully read the restrictions on items like:
- Batteries
- Aerosols
- Perfumes or aftershaves
- Nail varnish, polish or gel
Check our prohibitions and restrictions guide.
It’s also your responsibility to check the prohibited and restricted items for your destination country.
Choose a parcel shipping solution to suit you – whether you’re sending a one-off parcel or shipping thousands of packages every week.
